B: Marina docks are a magical place. If these boats could speak, they would contain stories of far-fetched fish tales left for the interpreter to discern fact from fiction. Every great sea-worthy movie contains a white and navy blue stripped long sleeve tee. Merely seeing someone wear such a shirt takes the mind to a nautical setting, such as the shirt Humphrey Bogart wears while he steals Audrey Hepburn's heart in The African Queen.B: While perusing the docks, we discovered a huge of flock ...

K: Although our time at the beach was short lived (and entailed a day of gloomy weather), Brandon and I were still excited to pack up a few beach essentials to make the trip enjoyable for the two of us. We've complied this post with our beach bag essentials for two, like this giant beach towel that actually fits both of you. Or this fantastic donut frisbee so that you can get active on the beach. Oftentimes, as females, we focus on our own needs within a bag, leaving our ... View the Post

K: Brandon and I are the epitome of early risers. Our weekend at Port Aransas beach was no exception and we were on the beach before 8 AM. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side during our stay, with perpetual gray skies and misty mornings. Nevertheless, we made the most of our time together and insisted on daily beach walks and trips to town. B: Tara absolutely loves the beach. Her addiction to chasing tennis balls coupled with the soft, cool, sandy beachscape, makes this the ... View the Post

B: Big Bend National Park is the fourteenth largest park in the United States, encompassing 801,163 acres. Driving through this geologic wonderland, we experienced stark elevation changes from flatland prairies to steep volcanic cliffs. The Chios Basin Campground is actually located in the center of an extinct volcano deep in the heart of the park. Hiking trails of all experience levels and distances branch outwards, making it the center of many park ... View the Post

K: After our first night of camping with friends, Brandon and I set out for a hike on the Santa Elena trail. In my opinion, this is the most scenic trail in all of Big Bend. We went last year and I knew that we'd have to take our friends this time around so that they could enjoy the jaw-dropping views of this slot canyon. It's a fairly short hike (about an hour and a half) and it did not disappoint the second time around. B: I am a true Texas boy, loving all aspects of the state, including ... View the Post

B: Alpine, Texas is one of those towns that you walk in about fifteen minutes. It didn't take Katherine and I long to discover what the small Texas town had to offer. We stopped on our way to Marfa (check out our blog post here) and made it our mission to see the colorful buildings, painted murals, and West Texas flair that Alpine had to offer. K: The wind was absolutely crazy the day that we stopped in Alpine. I'm thankful that I brought my hat to keep my hair (mostly) in place. While we ... View the Post
